Four of the world’s greatest national parks
Komodo
Location: Indonesia
Area: 1, 733km2
Home to the world’s largest lizard (蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago (群岛). The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1, 000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location:Namibia
Area: 49, 768km2
In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multi-day trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib.
Tongariro
Location: New Zealand
Area: 795km2
As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here’s the Tongariro. Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter seasons. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers 5.5km2 and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location: Tenerife, Spain
Area: 190km2
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.
21. What can visitors do in Komodo National Park?
A. Hike across the biggest ski area Whakapapa.
B. Go diving on its 29 islands.

Lindsey Stallworth, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.
“Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.
Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨).
“Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.
Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.”
“The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”
24. Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey’s finds?
A. He had a personal interest in geography.
B. He recognized the significance of one fossil.
C. He was hoping to be financially independent.
D. He wanted to start a paleontology club at school.
25. What inspired Andrew and Lindsey to start a fossil uncovering project?
A. A primitive whale’s bone. B. Some fossil shells.
C. An animal’s skull. D. Some shark teeth.
26. Which of the following best describes Andrew and Lindsey’s project?
A. Risky but interesting. B. Dangerous but rewarding.
C. Demanding but motivating. D. Boring but groundbreaking.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils.
B. The additional benefits of applying to college.
C. Lindsey’s potential to become a high school teacher.
D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development.
C
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.
Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an entire journey without any intervention from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.
Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard. people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.
How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software drive really can be safer than a human being.
From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀的权利) away?
28. What does Clara-Marina Martinez intend to do?
A. Market Porsche cars. B. Learn to be a responsible driver.
C. Enjoy riding in a self-driving car. D. Improve the AI technology.
29. What is the problem with self-driving cars?
A. They learn as slowly as human beings. B. They have to be monitored by human drivers.
C. They need a long time to reach a certain safety level. D. They can operate for a very short period of time.
30. What are Dr Martinez and her colleagues doing?
A. Enabling software to identify road dangers. B. Fixing sensors in autonomous vehicles.
C. Re-creating road situations on a test track. D. Separating the real world from the virtual world.
31. What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?
A. The reliability of car software. B. The future of its sports car market.
C. The quality of self-driving cars. D. The driving skills of human beings.
D
Imagine this. You need an image of a balloon for a work presentation and turn to an AI text- to- image generator to create a suitable image. You enter the prompt (提示词) “red balloon against a blue sky” but the generator return s an image of an egg instead.
What’s going on? The generator you’re using may have been “poisoned”. What does this mean? Text- to- image generators work by being trained on large datasets that include millions or billions of images. Some of the generators have been trained by indiscriminately scraping online images, many of which may be under copyright. This has led to many copyright infringement (侵害) cases where artists have accused big tech companies of stealing and profiting from their work.
This is also where the idea of “poison” comes in. Researchers who want to empower individual artists have recently created a tool named “Nightshade” to fight back against unauthorised image scraping. The tool works by slightly altering an image’s pixels (像素) in a way that confuses the computer vision system but leaves the image unaltered to a human’s eyes. If an organization then scrapes one of these images to train a future AI model, its data pool becomes “poisoned”. This can result in mistaken learning, which makes the generator return unintended results. As in our earlier example, a balloon might become an egg.
The higher the number of “poisoned” images in the training data, the greater the impact. Because of how generative AI works, the damage from “poisoned” images also affects related prompt keywords.
Possibly, tools like Nightshade can be abused by some users to intentionally upload “poisoned” images in order to confuse AI generators. But the Nightshade’s developer hopes the tool will make big tech companies more respectful of copyright. It does challenge a common belief among computer scientists that data found online can be used for any purpose they see fit.
Human rights activists, for example, have been concerned for some time about the indiscriminate use of machine vision in wider society. This concern is particularly serious concerning facial recognition. There is a clear connection between facial recognition cases and data poisoning, as both relate to larger questions around technological governance. It may be better to see data poisoning as an innovative solution to the denial of some fundamental human rights.
32. The underlined word “scraping” (para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. facilitating B. collecting C. damaging D. polishing
33. According to the passage, adding poisoned data might ______.
A. increase the accuracy of returned information
B. lead users to forget the prompt key words
C. cause trouble to with the training of generative AI
D. discriminate against great masterpieces
34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Data poisoning is somehow justified to direct attention to human rights.
B. Computer scientists has learned to respect the copyright of most artists.
C. Nightshade is being abused by human rights activists to recognize faces.
D. The issue of technological governance has aroused the lawyers’ interest,
35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A Data Poisoning: Government Empowering Citizens to Protect Themselves
B. Data Poisoning: Addressing Facial Recognition Issues Among Artists
C. Data Poisoning: Risks and Rewards of Generative AI Data Training
D. Data Poisoning: Restricting Innovation or Empowering Artists

Most people think that procrastination (拖延症) is a negative habit. But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done.
I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought.
At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Before I knew it I had only one day left for the project.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That taught me a great lesson.

【原文】Hello, everyone — this is your headmaster, Mr. Dodson, speaking. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount, and it’s expected to become over 20 cm by three o’clock. So, what does that mean? It will require classes to end now, at 11 o’clock. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you’re welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you’re doing. It’s quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by this evening, we’ll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone—and please, stay safe out there.

Lindsey Stallworth, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.
“Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.
Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨).
“Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.
Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.”
“The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”
24. Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey’s finds?
A. He had a personal interest in geography.
B. He recognized the significance of one fossil.
C. He was hoping to be financially independent.
D. He wanted to start a paleontology club at school.
25. What inspired Andrew and Lindsey to start a fossil uncovering project?
A. A primitive whale’s bone. B. Some fossil shells.
C. An animal’s skull. D. Some shark teeth.
26. Which of the following best describes Andrew and Lindsey’s project?
A. Risky but interesting. B. Dangerous but rewarding.
C. Demanding but motivating. D. Boring but groundbreaking.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils.
B. The additional benefits of applying to college.
C. Lindsey’s potential to become a high school teacher.
D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】

However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.(多年来,她一直在门罗县的土地上收集化石,却不知道这些化石具有重大的科学价值。然而,当她向阿拉巴马州数学与科学学院的老师、古生物学家安德鲁·金特里博士展示她的藏品时,他很感兴趣)”以及第二段““Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.(安德鲁说:“在检查了林赛展示的鲨鱼牙齿化石后,我很快发现了一颗,并渴望了解它的起源。”)”可推知,安德鲁对林赛的发现如此着迷是因为他认识到了一块化石的重要性。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones.(不久,他们在地面上发现了一个特别重要的发现:一块来自3400万年前鲸鱼骨架的大骨头!这促使两人启动了揭开其余骨头的巨大项目)” 可知,一块原始鲸鱼的骨头激发了安德鲁和林赛开始化石发掘项目。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.(安德鲁解释说:“假设整个骨骼都存在,我们可能需要几年时间才能将整个动物带回实验室。”)”以及第五段“Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.”(林赛获得了一项研究奖学金,与她的导师一起坚持她的化石挖掘探险。她对这个项目的热情达到了历史最高点,尽管她从未想过童年的消遣会引领她走上这条路。她回忆道:“我们会出去捡鲨鱼牙齿和化石贝壳,但我们从来不知道有人能告诉我们任何关于它们的事情。”。“我们只是觉得它们很酷。”)”可知,两人的项目可能需要几年时间,是要求高的,但林赛对项目充满热情,两人都觉得挖掘出来的化石很酷,由此可推知,这一项目是激励人心的。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”(安德鲁说:“研究员计划使林赛能够获得科学研究的实际经验,甚至在专业会议上展示这项研究。”。“对于高中生来说,这是一个千载难逢的机会,在申请大学时脱颖而出,甚至可能发现一条新的职业道路。”)”可知,本段主要介绍了林赛未来发展可能拥有的独特机会。故选D项。

When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.
Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an entire journey without any intervention from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.
Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard. people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.
How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software drive really can be safer than a human being.
From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀权利) away?
28. What does Clara-Marina Martinez intend to do?
A. Market Porsche cars. B. Learn to be a responsible driver.
C. Enjoy riding in a self-driving car. D. Improve the AI technology.
29. What is the problem with self-driving cars?
A. They learn as slowly as human beings. B. They have to be monitored by human drivers.
C. They need a long time to reach a certain safety level. D. They can operate for a very short period of time.
30. What are Dr Martinez and her colleagues doing?
A. Enabling software to identify road dangers. B. Fixing sensors in autonomous vehicles.
C. Re-creating road situations on a test track. D. Separating the real world from the virtual world.
31. What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?
A. The reliability of car software. B. The future of its sports car market.
C. The quality of self-driving cars. D. The driving skills of human beings.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述开发自动驾驶汽车的问题以及对跑车市场的影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering. (开车时,Clara-Marina Martinez会记下她在路上看到的任何异常行为。然后,她将这些输入到机器学习算法中,这是一种人工智能,她正在帮助保时捷工程集团开发这种算法。)”及第二段“Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. (这些算法旨在产生一个足够可靠的系统,让汽车自动驾驶。)”可知,Clara-Marina Martinez将开车时的异常输入到人工智能算法中,弥补人工智能算法的不足,使其更可靠。故推知Clara-Marina Martinez打算改进人工智能技术。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (据说自动驾驶汽车不仅方便,而且可能更安全。然而,正如人们花时间学习如何安全驾驶一样,机器也是如此。机器不是快速学习者。兰德公司计算出,要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全20%的系统,100辆自动驾驶汽车必须一年365天,每天24小时运行。)”可知,自动驾驶汽车需要长时间学习如何安全驾驶,故推知自动驾驶汽车需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。所以自动驾驶汽车的问题是:需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. (因此,保时捷等汽车制造商使用模拟器加快了开发过程。这些教会软件有关现实中很少遇到的危险。Martinez博士和她的同事使用“游戏引擎”来做到这一点。这些用于创建软件可以驱动的虚拟世界。)”可知,Martinez博士和她的同事用“游戏引擎”教会软件有关现实中很少遇到的危险,目的是使软件能够识别道路危险,故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀的权利) away? (不过,从保时捷的角度来看,还有另一个问题。鉴于拥有跑车的大部分原因是为了让车主炫耀他们的驾驶技能,对于软件剥夺了那些炫耀的权利这一版本,市场会有多大?)”可知,买跑车的原因是为了炫技,但软件剥夺了车主炫技的权利,故推知保时捷公司担心跑车市场的未来,故选B。
D
Imagine this. You need an image of a balloon for a work presentation and turn to an AI text- to- image generator to create a suitable image. You enter the prompt (提示词) “red balloon against a blue sky” but the generator return s an image of an egg instead.
What’s going on? The generator you’re using may have been “poisoned”. What does this mean? Text- to- image generators work by being trained on large datasets that include millions or billions of images. Some of the generators have been trained by indiscriminately scraping online images, many of which may be under copyright. This has led to many copyright infringement (侵害) cases where artists have accused big tech companies of stealing and profiting from their work.
This is also where the idea of “poison” comes in. Researchers who want to empower individual artists have recently created a tool named “Nightshade” to fight back against unauthorised image scraping. The tool works by slightly altering an image’s pixels (像素) in a way that confuses the computer vision system but leaves the image unaltered to a human’s eyes. If an organization then scrapes one of these images to train a future AI model, its data pool becomes “poisoned”. This can result in mistaken learning, which makes the generator return unintended results. As in our earlier example, a balloon might become an egg.
The higher the number of “poisoned” images in the training data, the greater the impact. Because of how generative AI works, the damage from “poisoned” images also affects related prompt keywords.
Possibly, tools like Nightshade can be abused by some users to intentionally upload “poisoned” images in order to confuse AI generators. But the Nightshade’s developer hopes the tool will make big tech companies more respectful of copyright. It does challenge a common belief among computer scientists that data found online can be used for any purpose they see fit.
Human rights activists, for example, have been concerned for some time about the indiscriminate use of machine vision in wider society. This concern is particularly serious concerning facial recognition. There is a clear connection between facial recognition cases and data poisoning, as both relate to larger questions around technological governance. It may be better to see data poisoning as an innovative solution to the denial of some fundamental human rights.
32. The underlined word “scraping” (para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. facilitating B. collecting C. damaging D. polishing
33. According to the passage, adding poisoned data might ______.
A. increase the accuracy of returned information
B. lead users to forget the prompt key words
C. cause trouble to with the training of generative AI
D. discriminate against great masterpieces
34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Data poisoning is somehow justified to direct attention to human rights.
B. Computer scientists has learned to respect the copyright of most artists.
C. Nightshade is being abused by human rights activists to recognize faces.
D. The issue of technological governance has aroused the lawyers’ interest,
35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Data Poisoning: Government Empowering Citizens to Protect Themselves
B. Data Poisoning: Addressing Facial Recognition Issues Among Artists
C. Data Poisoning: Risks and Rewards of Generative AI Data Training
D. Data Poisoning: Restricting Innovation or Empowering Artists
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一种名为“Nightshade”的工具,该工具通过微妙地修改图像的像素来混淆计算机视觉系统,以此对抗未经授权的图像抓取,保护艺术家的版权,同时引发了对数据中毒现象及其对人工智能模型训练影响的讨论。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词前面的句子“Text- to- image generators work by being trained on large datasets that include millions or billions of images. (文本到图像生成器是通过在包含数百万或数十亿图像的大型数据集上进行训练来工作的。)”可知,生成器是通过对大型数据集进行训练来工作的,这些大型数据集包含着数百万或者数十亿图像,由此推断生成器是通过收集这些数百万或者数十亿图像进行训练来工作的。同时根据第二段划线词后的“…online images, many of which may be under copyright. This has led to many copyright infringement (侵害) cases where artists have accused big tech companies of stealing and profiting from their work. (……在线图片,其中许多可能是受版权保护的,这导致了许多侵犯版权的案件,艺术家们指责大型科技公司窃取他们的作品并从中获利。)”可知,一些生成器是通过不加选择地抓取在线图像来训练的,其中许多图像可能是受版权保护的,由此导致艺术家对大型科技公司进行指责。由此可推理出划线词的含义为“收集”,故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The tool works by slightly altering an image’s pixels (像素) in a way that confuses the computer vision system but leaves the image unaltered to a human’s eyes. If an organization then scrapes one of these images to train a future AI model, its data pool becomes “poisoned”. This can result in mistaken learning, which makes the generator return unintended results. (该工具通过以人类肉眼无法察觉、但能迷惑计算机视觉系统的方式,对图像的像素进行轻微修改。如果一个组织随后抓取这些图像来训练未来的AI模型,其数据池就会变得“中毒”。这可能导致错误的学习,使得生成器返回非预期的结果。)”可知,添加“中毒”数据可能干扰生成人工智能的训练,故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Possibly, tools like Nightshade can be abused by some users to intentionally upload “poisoned” images in order to confuse AI generators. But the Nightshade’s developer hopes the tool will make big tech companies more respectful of copyright. (可能的是,像Nightshade这样的工具可以被一些用户滥用,故意上传“有毒”图片以混淆AI生成器。但Nightshade的开发者希望这个工具能让大型科技公司更加尊重版权。)”以及最后一段“Human rights activists, for example, have been concerned for some time about the indiscriminate use of machine vision in wider society. (例如,人权活动家一直对机器视觉在更广泛社会中的不加选择使用表示关切)”可推理出,数据中毒在某种程度上将人们的注意力引向人权是有道理的,故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“You enter the prompt (提示词) “red balloon against a blue sky” but the generator returns an image of an egg instead.( 你输入了提示词“红色气球对比蓝色天空”,但是生成器返回的却是一张鸡蛋的图片)”可知,文章提出了“生成器中毒的现象”;第二段“ The generator you’re using may have been “poisoned”. (你正在使用的生成器可能已经被“毒化”)”以及“Some of the generators have been trained by indiscriminately scraping online images, many of which may be under copyright. This has led to many copyright infringement cases where artists have accused big tech companies of stealing and profiting from their work.”(一些生成器是通过不加选择地抓取在线图像来训练的,其中许多图像可能属于版权所有。这导致了许多侵犯版权的案件,艺术家指控大型科技公司窃取他们的作品并从中获利)不仅阐述了“生成器中毒”的问题,同时还提及了生成器是通过不加选择地抓取在线图像来训练的,其中许多图像引发侵犯版权的问题;同时根据倒数第二段“Possibly, tools like Nightshade can be abused by some users to intentionally upload “poisoned” images in order to confuse AI generators. But the Nightshade’s developer hopes the tool will make big tech companies more respectful of copyright. (可能的是,像Nightshade这样的工具可以被一些用户滥用,故意上传“有毒”图片以混淆AI生成器。但Nightshade的开发者希望这个工具能让大型科技公司更加尊重版权。)”以及最后一段“Human rights activists, for example, have been concerned for some time about the indiscriminate use of machine vision in wider society. (例如,人权活动家一直对机器视觉在更广泛社会中的不加选择使用表示关切)”可知,此处强调Nightshade的开发者呼吁该工具能让大型科技公司更加尊重艺术创作者的版权。通读全文,文章主要讲述了人工智能图像生成器可能受到“毒害”的现象,即由于研究者为了保护艺术家版权而创造的工具Nightshade对图像进行细微像素修改,从而使得AI在训练时产生错误学习,生成错误的图像结果。这种“毒害”现象导致了许多侵犯艺术家版权的案件,引起艺术家的不满。由此文章提出质疑:到底该“中毒现象”是给艺术家赋权了还是限制了其创新能力。D项“Data Poisoning: Restricting Innovation or Empowering Artists(数据中毒:限制创新还是赋权艺术家)”表达的含义适合用做本文标题,故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了四种帮助身边有心理疾病人的方式。
【36题详解】
根据下文“In fact, anyone can benefit from depression awareness training that focuses on supporting those at risk. You might be a teacher that manages youth or a sports coach wanting to pick up on depression risk signs in your players.”(事实上,任何人都可以从抑郁症意识培训中受益,重点是支持那些有风险的人。你可能是一名管理青少年的老师,或者是一名想要在你的球员身上发现抑郁风险迹象的体育教练。)可知,选项承接下文话题一致,都在说明任何人都可以参加培训。故G选项“你不需要成为专业的健康专家才能参加抑郁症预防培训。”切题。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Depression awareness and prevention courses teach you both theoretical and practical skills to recognize warning signs and behaviors.”(抑郁症意识和预防课程将教授你识别警告信号和行为的理论和实践技能。)可知,选项承接上文说明好处。故D选项“这样的课程可能会帮助你预防某人的抑郁症”切题。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“If someone approaches you in their time of need, it’s not always easy to know what you’re supposed to do, and it may be more beneficial for you to just listen.”(如果有人在需要你的时候来找你,你并不总是很容易知道你应该做什么,倾听对你来说可能更有益。)根据下文“They may just need to get what they are feeling off their chest and to feel valid at that moment.”(他们可能只是需要把心中的感受发泄出来,在那一刻感觉自己是正确的)可知倾听就足够了,连个拥抱都不需要。故E选项“他们可能不需要你提供解决方案,甚至不需要给他们一个拥抱。”切题。故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Check in with the person experiencing a mental health problem like depression so that they know you are always there for them. Make contact with them regularly to see how they are feeling. Just knowing someone cares can make a world of difference.”(与患有抑郁症等心理健康问题的人联系,让他们知道你总是在他们身边。定期和他们联系,看看他们的感受。只要知道有人关心你,就能让世界变得不同。)可知,本段告诉我们要和患有抑郁症等心理健康问题的人联系。所以本段的标题为“和他们联系”。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Your support, guidance, and listening ear can be of great value to anyone going through a tough time.”(你的支持、指导和倾听对任何正在经历艰难时刻的人来说都是很有价值的)以及下文“If someone you know is experiencing self-abuse thoughts or tendencies, don’t delay in seeking emergency help.”(如果你认识的人有自虐的想法或倾向,不要拖延寻求紧急帮助。)可知,选项与上文为转折关系,且成接下文说明有些事情是自己做不到的。要认识到自己的能力极限。故C选项“然而,了解你的极限是很重要的。”切题。故选C项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Most people think that procrastination (拖延症) is a negative habit. But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done.
I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought.
At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That taught me a great lesson.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para.1 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I hastily and quickly glued together what I pulled out from our recycle bin, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. Several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed constructions. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was obvious that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.
Para.2 That taught me a great lesson. I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks on time, but also I felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.
